experience with Raffir Heatwave Sparkle Pen Blanks?

[walko789]

Hello all. I did a search and could only find reference to these type blanks in 2018 from Exotic Blanks (who I really like). I am looking at a large "thank you" project for some friends (16 pens) and wanted to see if anyone had turned these and how easy or hard they were, pros/cons or any advice before I make a large investment in blanks. Thanks in advance- RW

I had never heard of them before. They look intriguing but pricey.

If you are interested in sparkle at a lower price, try McKenzie Pen Works and check out their DiamondCast Radience series. https://www.mckenziepenworks.com/collections/radiance-series. They are made from Alumilite Clear Slow and turn like a dream.
